There is an age-old notion of the artist’s practice as a solitary one in which creativity is born over the course of long hours in the studio. Barring a nomadic or collaborative practice, there is truth to this romantic vision—artists do often work alone—yet there is a constant companion inherent in the creative process: the studio itself. The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) has filled this role for over two-thousand artists and curators from more than ninety countries over the last thirty years.
In May 2022, we had the privilege of visiting the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile and collaborating with the local community on a project that involved the land and its resources. Our resulting work, Messa in Luce, features fourteen clay tablets sourced, shaped, fired, and sonified with sounds recorded during our research expedition. This account documents our personal experience of collectivity, exchange, and nonlinear passages of time in the Atacama region as temporary cohabitants.

Inflatable mattresses, water from the Milwaukee River, and sand from the Pacific Ocean are just some of the materials that visual artists innovatively integrated into the artwork of Columbia’s newest exhibit. A year after Columbia postponed the First Year MFA show, second-year Master’s of Fine Arts students returned to display their pieces in their long-awaited Columbia debut. Despite facing cutbacks on studio space and collaborative group work, artists have come together for a final showing of their work.
